This is for my nephew, who is a big fan of the game. The pattern came from Happy Bobbin and consists of creeper, pig, sheep, cow, and zombie heads; it’s rearranged a little to make a bookmark. It is tiny (five 8×8 blocks plus the text) and didn’t take long at all to make. I was planning on doing the text vertically as well, but realized it would fit better horizontally (six high vs mostly three wide to center under eight stitches). If I’d realized that on the front end, I might have done the heads the other way.

This is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh-inspired motif from Cross Stitch Art Nouveau by Barbara Hammet (not to be confused with her Art Nouveau Cross Stitch). I wanted to actually finish something, and it seemed about the right size for a bookmark. It’s mostly as charted; there were a couple of blank places in the brown lines that looked like they needed stitches, and there was a green leaf alone on the right side that I didn’t do.
